Wouldn't this be a wonderful development!
a bra for women, and eventually briefs for men, could
have some real health benefits by detecting cancerous cells The undergarments could serve as monitoring and early warning systems to alert at-risk patients of a problem years before a tumor forms.
The device is built on technology called microwave radiometry, which
measures small temperature changes in internal tissue. Cancerous
tumors are known to have a different temperature than the surrounding
tissue Some doctors already use microwave radiometry for breast cancer detection, but the equipment is elaborate and far from portable.
Siores's idea is to shrink the technology down to cup size. Tiny,
fiber-like antennas would be woven into each side of the bra. The
antennas would pick up the thermal signals coming from tissue inside
the breast.
